Happy Hour – The Impact of the 14th and Prop 8

I wrote on Monday about the Republican attack on the 14th Amendment. It seems that now the GOP has another reason, other than immigration, to paint a target on the back of the 14th Amendment.

Morning Coffee – ASCII Art Edition

I’ve been looking at text a lot over the weekend, which got me to thinking about ASCII Art. I remember seeing ASCII Art for the first time back in the early 80′s when I still lived in Osceola. It was printed on that old green and white lined paper. I remember it because it...
